Loc: in my own world in pittsburgh,...

i understand your plight craig. i have written more in the last summer than i had in all 5 years i have been here, and cannot access those without rummaging through every single thread in every single forum! LOL

i was thinking about trying the 'watched topic' drop down to see how many pages would default for that.

I've discovered that using the search feature specifying a user's name allows you to extend the time frame. You can go back five years, and I don't think there's a page limit. More testing required, though...

No, still stuck with 8 pages. But there's a cheat. You can specify both "newer than" and "older than" ranges. So read 8 pages back, check the date of the oldest post, then do a search on the user name "older than" that date, and you'll get the next 8 pages.

My original question had more to do with the default for how many TOTAL posts I could chose to view from from user's page.

Example... I have 1000+ but can only access 8 pages or 200 posts period(now ending September 3)

I went to UBB website(I assume they are using their most current version)I chose one of their admins from their "Who's Online"From user "homepage" I can choose from over 100+ pages of their specific posts(must be a distant cuz of the Roadrunner)

That helps if I am looking for something in reference to a topicor a particularily supportive comment someone made

That was what I was inquiring about

Since it is maxed out the number would be 200 right now. We should be running the newest version of the ubb software real soon. Look for the site upgrade notice hopefully later this week Then you can read all of Larry's posts/

I also like being able to differentiate from "All posts" & "Topics Created" too.There are a few things I ain't fond of.My Mood?Shows/changes on my posts unless I sign in as Binvisible?Just glad that "whistling" emoticon isn't available as a mood because to use my bro mogigo's words it gives me the "Heebie Jeebies"(most of the emoticons do here)
